AEONBLACK: New Album Release "Treason"

After a history of twenty years, the Southern German rock band AEONBLACK is set to release their third album, "Treason", in the autumn of 2026. Since their previous full-length release, "The Time Has Come" (2021), and their debut album, "Metalbound" (2016), the band has played countless shows and earned a reputation within the metal scene as an outstanding live act. AEONBLACK has channeled this energy into their new material, producing an incredibly powerful power metal album with "Treason."

The album was deliberately recorded in the band's own rehearsal-space studio to ensure that none of the energy was lost during the recording process. "Treason" was mixed and mastered by Christoph Brandes at Iguana Studios in March (near Freiburg).

The new, original songs deliver powerful heavy metal defined by character, energy, and uncompromising standards. The band combines the raw force and authenticity of traditional heavy metal with the intensity of a modern sound. Distinctive riffs, dual-guitar harmonies, driving drums, a grooving bass, and vocals ranging from melodic to aggressive define the sonic landscape – direct, punchy, and infused with a unique, melancholic touch.

Shortly after the recording sessions, in the autumn of 2025, AEONBLACK’s charismatic bassist, Roland Zehrer, passed away. Lois Liotakis joined the band as a permanent member in the spring of 2026 and has already proven at recent shows that he is the perfect fit for AEONBLACK.

The album "Treason" will be released on November 10, 2026 – the first anniversary of bassist Roland Zehrer’s passing. Following the release, the band will play numerous shows throughout 2026 and 2027, performing both as headliners and as support acts for bands such as Axxis and Poltergeist. A UK club tour is also scheduled for March 2027.
